Mutya Buena: ilikemusic because... It’s something I’ve grown up listening to, I enjoy singing I don’t think I know what I’d do without music to tell you the truth. It helps me out in so many ways.

Sylvia Powell: ilikemusic because... It can make me happy yet it can make me feel sad. It helps me remember, but it can also make me forget. Most of all I like music because it makes me feel alive.
Murron :): ilikemusic becuase... ITS FRIGGIN AWESOME!! I mean, who can live without music?!
Kevin Michael: ilikemusic because... I’ve been singing my entire life. I cannot go without listening to it or singing for a day. I wake up to it, I go to sleep to it, I am music.
Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?
JLo-Sully: ilikemusic because... ITS LIKE MY LIFE I HAVE BEEN SINGING ALL MY LIFE AND IF IT WASNT FOR THE MUSIC OR MY MODELING IV JUST GOT THROGH I PROBABLY WOULN'T BE HERE SO THANX N-DUBZ U THE BEST EVERY X
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
paul skinbak: ilikemusic because... its very sexy
Keane: ilikemusic because... It’s the way we express ourselves

ILM: Living the dream basically...

Rob: Absolutley! Plus there's no real pressure, unless you're headlining. It's different to your own gig. With a festival you just go on, do your thing for half an hour and then go and enjoy yourself.

ILM: What would be your advice to anyone looking to follow in your footsteps?

Rob: Do the same as us. Practice, practice, practice and tour, tour, tour. Play as much as you can. There's no truer saying than practice makes perfect. I'm not trying to say we're perfect! It just definitely helps. You can tell the difference between a band that has played together for a long time and a band that have just got together and are trying to bosh out a couple of catchy tunes. It doesn't work like that. Never expect anything. Never assume that if you play London you'll get a good crowd and you'll get noticed. We played London a few times and it was by far the hardest place to get any kind of recognition. It was one of the last places to pick up and it took a while for us to actually get a crowd in.
